I was doing some research on what the world's diabetes statistics are and WOW.. I was amazed.. I added the link for you to look through, but let me say that I was stunned that the top five are as follows..
1. China (92.3 million)
2. India (63 million)
3. US (24 million)
4. Brazil (13.6 million)
5. Russia (12.7 million)
I am sure that the total population has something to do with these stas, but I really didn't expect to see China as #1!!
I also found this info on the site.
Diabetes across adults and children
The following figures indicate the differing proportion of the two main types of diabetes across age groups:- Adults: 10% have type 1 diabetes
- Adults: 90% have type 2 diabetes
- Children: 98% have type 1 diabetes
- Children: 2% have type 2 diabetes.
Adults and children combined:
- 15% have type 1 diabetes
- 85% have type 2 diabetes
What are your thoughts on this?
